Finger Eleven

[Hyphnip]

I just checked Finger Eleven's site for the first time in... probably a month. They've finally changed shit on there and put up a phone number to call and leave them a message. For those of you who are fans, call them, leave them a message!

I always loved this idea, it was used by the insane Clown Posse and Twiztid in their early days as a way to have the fans connect, they'd put some of the recordings at the end of the CD's. I'm excited now.

I loved Greyest of Blue Skies, but for some reason, i've never heard anything else by them... is there newer or older stuff worth checking out?

[Hyphnip]

Personally, I think Tip (their first album as Finger Eleven) is AMAZING! Their 3rd CD (self titled) is actually really good too. Can't hurt to check them out right?

All their stuff is worth checking out, even the Rainbow Butt Monkeys "letters from chutney" is pretty good. But, this is coming from a girl who has a finger eleven tattoo so there is a slight bias. Gah, I can't wait for the new album!

 

I would gladly force this band upon any and all who will allow me to. Let me know if you want any of their songs.

[Hyphnip]

I was wondering how long it'd take you to post here! Do you just hide in teh shadows until you see something that really interests you?

[Shortcut To Moncton]

They really lost me with their S/T album. The only song I ever really liked off that cd was Obvious Heart.

 

These days, Finger Eleven is as generic as Three Days Grace.

Haha.. Yes! I'm pretty quiet until I definitely have something to say.

they did the phone-in thing too when they were recording the last album.

[MuttersomeTaxicab]

Obvious Heart was really bad ass off their Self-Titled. The rest also grew on me a fair bit. I was still a nerd and picked up the special edition of their self-titled, though. Which was totally worth the cash, since it had a live set of theirs recorded. Wasn't the most QUALITY recording, but still worth the while.

I bought a dvd player just so I could watch that. It was a good investment.

 

I have a 30 second clip of one of the new songs they were working on (summer 2005) and it sounds ... listener friendly.

 

James Black new solo stuff on the other hand is as eccentric and awesome as James himself

James Black's solo stuff sounds like low rent Ween.

his myspace song is funny

James Black's solo stuff sounds like low rent Ween.

Or, as James Black put it:

 

"Sounds like Ween stole Syd Barrett's drugs and gave them to Brian Wilson's nurse maid, who slipped them into his warm milk at night, then taped him singing Muppet songs into his pillow as he dreamt of being strangled by Kenny Loggins."

[Hyphnip]

wow, I've got to check this stuff out

[thewickernightmare]

so does anybody know whos producing their new album? is it the same guy as the last one? i want arnold lanni to produce it (like tip and greyest of blue skies), anybody know whatever happened to that dude? i want him producing olp again too....

[Hyphnip]

No idea.

 

 

and OLP has sucked ever since Chantal Kreviazuk entered the picture.

[uglybutterfly]

I believe they're getting the same guy to produce it. The record's pretty much done now and it will be released in early 2007.

 

And OLP did start sucking when Chantal moved into the picture. I never thought about it that way before.

yeah i want them to sound the exact same as their first two albums too! hooray for not embracing change!

 

the only reason i didnt like the most recent producer is because he has disturbed on his resume as well.

I call her Yoko.

[Seanathon]

I'm just posting to say Greyest of Blue Skies is one of my favouritest albums ever.

That is all.

[Dan #3]

I thought OLP started sucking when Raine Maida came into the picture.

 

That aside, I am very much looking forward to new Finger Eleven.

[soundless_space]

Arnold Lanni produces Finger Eleven? Interesting.

 

And OLP did not start to suck when Chantal came into the picture!

 

Okay, maybe they did.

[uglybutterfly]

edit: Arnold Lanni produced Finger Eleven in the past and put out some of their best work (in my opinion). He doesn't work with them any more.

Hahaha! I feel the same way, I think it makes Finger Eleven look bad to have the same producer as Disturbed.

[Hyphnip]

I don't look at it like that, Disturbed makes all music look bad. As a matter of fact, Disturbed makes the whole human race look bad, the producer thing doesn't make it any worse.

[uglybutterfly]
